2 Chronicles 34
1 Eight years old, was Josiah when he begun to reign, —and, thirty-one years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Tinha Josias oito annos quando começou a reinar, e trinta e um annos reinou em Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, —and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside, to the right hand or to the left.
E fez o que era recto aos olhos do Senhor: e andou nos caminhos de David, seu pae, sem se desviar d'elles nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
3 And, in the eighth year of his reign, he, being yet a boy, he began to seek unto the God of David his father, -and, in the twelfth year, he began to purify Judah and Jerusalem, from the high places and the Sacred Stems, and the carved images and the molten images.
Porque no oitavo anno do seu reinado, sendo ainda moço, começou a buscar o Deus de David, seu pae; e no duodecimo anno começou a purificar a Judah e a Jerusalem, dos altos, e dos bosques, e das imagens d'esculptura e de fundição.
4 And they threw down before him, the altars of the Baalim, and, the sun-pillars which were on high above them, he hewed down, —and, the Sacred Stems and the carved images and the molten images, brake he in pieces and ground to dust, and tossed over the face of the graves, of them who had been sacrificing unto them.
E derribaram perante elle os altares de Baalim; e cortou as imagens do sol, que estavam acima d'elles: e os bosques, e as imagens d'esculptura e de fundição quebrou e reduziu a pó, e o espargiu sobre as sepulturas dos que lhes tinham sacrificado.
5 And, the bones of the priests, burned he upon their altars, —and so purified Judah and Jerusalem:
E os ossos dos sacerdotes queimou sobre os seus altares: e purificou a Judah e a Jerusalem.
6 also throughout the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even as far as Naphtali, —searched he their houses, round about.
O mesmo fez nas cidades de Manasseh, e d'Ephraim, e de Simeão, e ainda até Naphtali; em seus logares ao redor, assolados.
7 And, when he had thrown down the altars and the Sacred Stems, and, the images, he had beaten to powder, and, the sun-pillars, he had hewn down throughout all the land of Israel, then returned he to Jerusalem.
E, tendo derribado os altares, e os bosques, e as imagens de esculptura, até reduzil-os a pó, e tendo cortado todas as imagens do sol em toda a terra d'Israel, então voltou para Jerusalem.
8 And, in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purified the land and the house, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the ruler of the city and Joah son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh his God.
E no anno decimo oitavo do seu reinado, havendo já purificado a terra e a casa, enviou a Saphan, filho d'Asalias, e a Maaseias, maioral da cidade, e a Joah, filho de Joachaz, registrador, para repararem a casa do Senhor, seu Deus.
9 So they went in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the silver that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the entrance-hall had collected from the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin, —and returned to Jerusalem.
E vieram a Hilkias, summo sacerdote, e deram o dinheiro que se tinha trazido á casa do Senhor, e que os levitas que guardavam o umbral tinham colligido da mão de Manasseh, e d'Ephraim, e de todo o resto de Israel, como tambem de todo o Judah e Benjamin: e voltaram para Jerusalem.
10 And the overseers in the house of Yahweh, delivered it into the hand of the doer of the work, —yea they delivered it to the doers of the work, because they were working in the house of Yahweh, in searching and repairing the house:
E o deram na mão dos que tinham cargo da obra, e superintendiam sobre a casa do Senhor: e estes o deram aos que faziam a obra, e trabalhavam na casa do Senhor, para concertarem e repararem a casa.
11 yea they delivered it to the artificers and to the builders, to buy carved stones and timbers for the joinings, —and to build up the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
E o deram aos mestres da obra, e aos edificadores, para comprarem pedras lavradas, e madeira para as junturas: e para sobradarem as casas que os reis de Judah tinham destruido.
12 Now, the men, were working faithfully in the work, and over them as overseers, were—Jahath and Obadiah, Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to preside, —and Levites, all who had understanding in instruments of song;
E estes homens trabalhavam fielmente na obra; e os superintendentes sobre elles eram: Johath e Obadias, levitas, dos filhos de Merari, como tambem Zacharias e Mesullam, dos filhos dos kohathitas, para avançarem a obra: estes levitas todos eram entendidos em instrumentos de musica.
13 also over the burden-bearers, and such as took the lead, for everyone who was working in any manner of service, —and, of the Levites, were scribes and officers and doorkeepers.
Estavam tambem sobre os carregadores e os inspectores de todos os que trabalhavam em alguma obra; e d'entre os levitas eram os escrivães, e os officiaes e os porteiros.
14 Now, as they were taking out the silver which had been brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.
E, tirando elles o dinheiro que se tinha trazido á casa do Senhor, Hilkias, o sacerdote, achou o livro da lei do Senhor, dada pela mão de Moysés.
15 Then spake up Hilkiah, and said unto Shaphan the scribe, The Book of the Law, have I found, in the house of Yahweh, —and Hilkiah gave the book unto Shaphan.
E Hilkias respondeu, e disse a Saphan, o escrivão: Achei o livro da lei na casa do Senhor. E Hilkias deu o livro a Saphan.
16 Then Shaphan took in the book unto the king, and returned yet further unto the king a message, saying, —All that was delivered into the hand of thy servants, they are doing;
E Saphan levou o livro ao rei, e deu conta tambem ao rei, dizendo: Teus servos fazem tudo quanto se lhes encommendou.
17 and they have poured out the silver, that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the doers of the work.
E ajuntaram o dinheiro que se achou na casa do Senhor, e o deram na mão dos superintendentes e na mão dos que faziam a obra.
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, A book, hath Hilkiah the priest given to me. And Shaphan, read therein, before the king.
De mais d'isto, Saphan, o escrivão, fez saber ao rei, dizendo: O sacerdote Hilkias me deu um livro. E Saphan leu n'elle perante o rei.
19 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
Succedeu pois que, ouvindo o rei as palavras da lei, rasgou os seus vestidos.
20 Then did the king command Hilkiah—and Ahikam son of Shaphan—and Abdon son of Micah—and Shaphan the scribe—and Asaiah servant of the king, saying:
E o rei mandou a Hilkias, e a Ahikam, filho de Saphan, e a Abdon, filho de Micah, e a Saphan, o escrivão, e a Asaias, ministro do rei, dizendo:
21 Go, enquire of Yahweh for me, and for the remnant in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which hath been found, —for great is the wrath of Yahweh, which hath been poured out upon us, because our fathers, kept not, the word of Yahweh, to do according to all that is written in this book.
Ide, consultae ao Senhor por mim, e pelo que fica de resto em Israel e em Judah, sobre as palavras d'este livro que se achou; porque grande é o furor do Senhor, que se derramou sobre nós; porquanto nossos paes não guardaram a palavra do Senhor, para fazerem conforme a tudo quanto está escripto n'este livro.
22 So Hilkiah and they whom the king had named went into Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah keeper of the wardrobe, she, having her dwelling in Jerusalem, in the new city, —and they spake unto her accordingly.
Então Hilkias, e os enviados do rei, foram ter com a prophetiza Hulda, mulher de Sallum, filho de Tokhath, filho d'Hasra, guarda dos vestimentos (e habitava ella em Jerusalem na segunda parte); e fallaram-lhe segundo isto,
23 And she said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, —Say ye unto the man who hath sent you unto me:
E ella lhes disse: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel: Dizei ao homem que vos enviou a mim:
24 Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me bringing in calamity upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, -even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que trarei mal sobre este logar, e sobre os seus habitantes, a saber: todas as maldições que estão escriptas no livro que se leu perante o rei de Judah.
25 Because they have forsaken me, and burned incense unto other gods, so as to provoke me to anger, with all the works of their hands, therefore hath my wrath been poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
Porque me deixaram, e queimaram incenso perante outros deuses, para me provocarem á ira com toda a obra das suas mãos; portanto o meu furor se derramou sobre este logar, e não se apagará.
26 But, unto the king of Judah, who hath sent you to enquire of Yahweh, thus, shall ye say unto him, —Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard:
Porém ao rei de Judah, que vos enviou a consultar ao Senhor, assim lhe direis: Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel, quanto ás palavras que ouviste:
27 Because tender was thy heart, and thou didst humble thyself before God when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabitants thereof, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes and weep before me, therefore, I also, have heard, is the declaration of Yahweh.
Porquanto o teu coração se enterneceu, e te humilhaste perante Deus, ouvindo as suas palavras contra este logar, e contra os seus habitantes, e te humilhaste perante mim, e rasgaste os teus vestidos, e choraste perante mim, tambem eu te tenho ouvido, diz o Senhor.
28 Behold me! gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered unto thy sepulchres in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the calamity which, I, am bringing in upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they returned, unto the king, the message.
Eis que te ajuntarei a teus paes, e tu serás recolhido ao teu sepulchro em paz, e os teus olhos não verão todo este mal que hei de trazer sobre este logar e sobre os seus habitantes. E tornaram com esta resposta ao rei.
29 Then the king sent, —and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
Então enviou o rei, e ajuntou a todos os anciãos de Judah e Jerusalem.
30 And the king went up to the house of Yahweh—and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem—and the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the great even unto the small, —and he read in their ears, all the words of the book of the covenant, which had been found in the house of Yahweh.
E o rei subiu á casa do Senhor, com todos os homens de Judah, e os habitantes de Jerusalem, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, e todo o povo, desde o maior até ao mais pequeno: e elle leu aos ouvidos d'elles todas as palavras do livro do concerto, que se tinha achado na casa do Senhor.
31 And the king stood in his place, and solemnised the covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and with all his soul, —to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
E poz-se o rei em pé em seu logar, e fez concerto perante o Senhor, para andar após o Senhor, e para guardar os seus mandamentos, e os seus testemunhos, e os seus estatutos, com todo o seu coração, e com toda a sua alma, fazendo as palavras do concerto, que estão escriptas n'aquelle livro.
32 And he caused to take a stand, all that were present in Jerusalem, and Benjamin, —and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
E fez estar em pé a todos quantos se acharam em Jerusalem e em Benjamin: e os habitantes de Jerusalem fizeram conforme ao concerto de Deus, do Deus de seus paes.
33 And Josiah removed all the abominations, out of all the lands which belonged to the sons of Israel, and caused all that were present in Jerusalem to serve, yea to serve, Yahweh their God, —all his days, turned they not aside from following Yahweh, God of their fathers.
E Josias tirou todas as abominações de todas as terras que eram dos filhos d'Israel; e a todos quantos se acharam em Israel obrigou a que com tal culto servissem ao Senhor seu Deus: todos os seus dias não se desviaram d'após o Senhor, Deus de seus paes.
